"Fifty Shades of Chicken"

At this point, the astonishingly successful and astonishingly bad “Fifty Shades of Grey” trilogy is like a fish tied down at the bottom of a barrel–it practically makes fun of itself, making it hard to even parody. But one anonymous cookbook writer, “FL Fowler,” has found a way.

The author told People magazine that “The recipe and hed notes follow a chef and his chicken on an emotional journey very much like the original trilogy. You start with an overbearing cook and a pigheaded chicken but by the end they’re spanking and tying each other up like soul mates. There’s a bit of Christian and Anastasia Steele in every dish.”

Like any good parody, this manages to make fun of both the flabby porn of “Fifty Shades” and the gushing language of “food porn,” with their shared habits of worshiping trussed-up pieces of meat. You can check two preview recipes, Mustard Spanked Chicken and Dripping Thighs, over at People.
